A little bit of information could go a long way toward preventing the unthinkable. We know first-hand that the unthinkable can happen to anyone—even to the most experienced! We encourage safety training for brand-new members as well as those who have been cycling for years. In fact, those with experience can add much to the discussions. We encourage all club members to participate in one of our NHCC Cycle-Safe Basics (online) sessions. There will be three different dates to choose from:
Wednesday May 17th, 7:00pm
Wednesday May 24th, 7:00pm
